Below you will find a number of resources that can be used to assist you in making a successful transition from a military to a civilian career.

Career Search Strategies for Student Veterans

Research careers by exploring The Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET Online. Match your skills, interests, values, accomplishments, experience, personality traits and goals with career information that you find at these sites.

Join professional organizations and affiliations in your field, and continuously update your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn can be especially useful for veterans because it can help you connect with military officers and assist you in networking with various veterans groups.
